    Lucky Koritela #23 The Rock Cycle The rock cycle begins when Earth’s plates shift around leaving gaps in between them making a volcano. The magma under Earth’s crust come through the gap and spill out of the volcano. Then the magma (lava) cools down and hardens into igneous rock. As time passes the igneous rock weathers (using substances such as water) away into little chips. After getting smaller‚ erosion (using elements such as wind) transports the little rocks to different places. The deposition

    A-CN-K (Al2O3- (CaO*+Na2O)-K2O) diagram A–CN–K ternary plot is useful tool to evaluate weathering trends in the source rock and to estimate K-metasomatism [Nesbitt and Young (1982‚ 1984); Fedo et al.‚ 1995]. The ideal weathering lines are parallel to A-CN boundary because the removal rates of Na and Ca from plagioclase are greater than the removal rate of K from k-feldspars. On the A–CN–K ternary plot (Fig.6.16) the samples are plotted more or less close to A - K boundary indicating that removal

    our planet over time through rocks. Rocks are divided into three major classifications; • Igneous- rocks created by volcanism and the cooling/ crystallization of magma. • Sedimentary- rocks created by the compaction and cementation of sediment created by the weathering of pre-existing rocks of igneous‚ metamorphic or sedimentary origin. • Metamorphic- rocks that are formed by metamorphosing pre-existing rocks through heat and pressure. Metamorphic rocks can be made from any of the
